Raw Food Guidance
Nutrition is key to good behaviour.
Does that sound strange to you? The body´s health determines the overall well-being. Well-being is linked to behaviour.
Nutrition can make all the difference in your dog’s training success!
A raw and fresh diet is the best way to ensure your dog´s health and I specialize in guiding you through the jungle of raw feeding and I am with you on your journey.
Dog Training
Compassion, respect and positive reinforcement.
Training in my sessions is based on compassion, positive reinforcement and respect for both you and your dog.
The bond you share with your dog is at the heart of my work. It is the key to reaching your goals and creating a great life together.
In my work with dogs, I’m especially passionate about so called "mental stimulation" and "enrichment" - both fantastic ways to engage your dog’s mind while strengthening your bond.
When a dog’s mind is active they’re more balanced, fulfilled and less likely to show behavioural issues.

TESTIMONIALS
If only this had been available when I had my first dog!
Doreen simplifies everything and ensures you have all the information you need to feed your dog a raw diet. She helped me transition a lactating bitch to 100% raw and guided me on how to start weaning 3- to 4-week-old puppies onto raw food. As an experiment, I decided to offer the puppies ground meat in one bowl and dry food in another for their first meal. You can imagine what they chose! They didn’t even glance at the dry food and ate the ground meat with great appetite! This clearly shows what dogs prefer and thrive on.
The information package you get is very clear and easy to follow. It’s completely tailored to your dog and it comes with plenty of information, even where to find the main ingredients, most of which are available at the nearest grocery store. So, she’s practically done all the work for you. All that’s left is to pop to the store - most of this can be bought alongside your household shopping - buy all the ingredients, put together the meal for your dog and serve it.
She puts a lot of effort into what she does and is there to support you through the process. Your dog will thank you, I promise!

(Raw Food Guidance)
Hello!
Hi, I’m Doreen.
I grew up in Germany and found my second home here in Iceland, where I moved in 2017.
After 15 years in an office job, I decided to follow my passion (dogs!) and founded my small business
"Besti Vinur Mannsins"
(The Man’s Best Friend).
Here, I focus on dog training and guiding dog owners through the world of raw feeding.
I believe that nutrition is at the core of your dog’s well-being, influencing not just their physical health, but also their behaviour.
Trusting someone to help with your dog’s training or nutrition is a personal and big decision because our dogs are family, friends, companions, soulmates.
That’s why my approach is compassionate, positive and respectful.
My goal is to make raw dog feeding simple and accessible - not just for your dog’s body, but for their mind and behaviour, too.
I believe with all my heart that combining the right nutrition with good training can bring out the best in your dog. ❤️
